The way VW does this is to change the bore diameters in the calipers 
and cylinders.  Some cars use a proportioning valve, but this is only 
if the correct ratios can't be achieved easily with reasonable bores, 
as in the 914, or if the weight distribution is likely to change with 
load, as in a pickup or station wagon.
